Am I desensitized or something?
I'm M/16. For the past few years my mom and other family members are always asking why I don't hug & kiss them that much. When ever a family member hugs me or something, I feel uncomfortable. When certain things happen, I don't cry and they get mad. Its like they think I don't feel anything. But when they say stuff about me being like this I feel bad. They also get mad at how I don't call them often. It also feels uncomfortable when a friend puts their hand on my shoulder. But when it comes to girls that I like, I do hug them a lot & randomly. I remember feeling stuff too. But I haven't really had a gal in a while. My family always treated me well. Is this normal? They also say that I don't talk to them that much. Is there something wrong with me?

it is normal.. I think every one goes through something like this especially boys... but your mom is only mentioning it because she love you and no matter how old you are you are her little boy and she wants your love in return... let her know that you do love her and care about he you just feel a little uncomfortable hugging or kissing... or maybe once in a while give her a little hug or kiss on the forehead just to let her know you care even if it is uncomfortable... she just loves you so much and wants to know that no matter what you still love her too

This is completely normal bro. I was the EXACT same way when I was 16. I didn't tell my mother I loved her for almost 2 years.
I felt horrible because I knew it hurt her. But it was just too uncomfortable. I didn't enjoy hugging, kissing, or any more than normal-for-a-friend type activity. Even though daily I had no issue interacting with them as far as being around each other and living period. Although I was fairly sexually active at a young age. Which seemed like an indifference because I didn't mind at all being with a girl in any kind of way you could think. (within reason) The fact that you even cared that they asked and cared enough to come ask us here, shows that you aren't desensitized. You just go through different stages and feel different emotions as opposed to none at all. You will most likely slowly fade out of it and get back to normal and you and everyone else forget all about it. No worries. It's normal.
